Jets S Jamal Adams makes 2017 NFL All-Rookie Team

Jamal Adams has been named to the 2017 NFL All-Rookie Team, the Professional Football Writers of America announced Tuesday.

Adams was the only member of the Jets’ rookie class to make the roster, despite an equally impressive season from fellow safety Marcus Maye. Adams is joined in the middle of the secondary by Marcus Williams of the New Orleans Saints.

Adams’ selection follows a standout freshman campaign in which he proved why he was worthy of the No. 6 pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

Everywhere you looked on the field, Adams was somehow there. He made contributions in coverage, stopping the run game and getting to the quarterback. While he was unable to record his first interception, Adams ended the season with 83 tackles, two sacks, six passes defended, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and eight stuffs.

On top of that, the 21-year-old acted as a leader in New York’s young locker room, bringing an abundance of energy to a team that badly needed some.

While Adams was the lone Jet to make the cut, the Saints led all teams with four All-Rookie team selections: running back Alvin Kamara, cornerback Marshon Lattimore, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk and Williams. Lattimore was named Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Kamara, meanwhile, split Offensive Rookie of the Year honors with Kareem Hunt. The Kansas City Chiefs running back was awarded Rookie of the Year all to himself.
